Summary: This study fabricates fiber membranes with different concentrations of AgNO3 using electrospinning technique, and then reduces AgNO3 to Ag NPs through UV irradiation. The resulting nanofiber film is characterized and evaluated for its anti-UV and anti-electromagnetic radiation properties. The study demonstrates the effects of AgNO3 concentration on fiber diameter and deviation, as well as the difference in performance between AgNO3 and AgNO3-derived Ag NPs in terms of anti-UV and anti-electromagnetic radiation properties.

Summary: This study proposes a highly specific method for determining Cr6+, based on the double reactions of Co2+ with dithizone and the replacement of Co2+ with Cr6+. The use of dithizone functionalized polyurethane nanofibers and microwell plate film overcomes the degradation of dithizone in wet analysis. The colorimetric method using DTZ-Co2+/PU-NF provided the best results, with a linear range of 0.001-1.0 mg L-1, a detection limit of 0.001 mg L-1, and a precision of 1.7%.
